My mom sent me her Nikon FM shortly before Christmas. Oh was I antsy to get my hands on some film! So I used rolls from loong long ago. The scans from those rolls weren't bad but it was very much a beginners roll. :o) These are scans from my first non-expired rolls of Portra 400. So at this point I'm discovering the unique features of this camera. My sister also sent her Canon film camera to mela morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16669865304080603128noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028983620856163511.post-55310283792115498352013-01-16T21:53:00.000-06:002013-01-16T21:53:58.585-06:00Shadows of the Past
I always feel vulnerable doing something out of my comfort zone and this was one of those things. I really wanted to play with my off camera flash and incorporate my former life as a ballet dancer. So it's a bit more artistic than my usual lifestyle work but I take my job as a photographer seriously and dont like to pass up any opportunity to learn (o:

Christmas this year was magical because my daughter could rip into her presents and squeal with glee at all the new goodies! We have been trying very hard to keep her from tearing open gifts before Christmas that she was so confused why she could now tear them open! Needless to say she will very much enjoy her birthday in a couple months :oP

I absolutely love snow and live in the desert. Ah luck of the draw :oP But I do seem to have luck! The past two years in the desert we have had at least one snow day! Zoey was old enough this year to be aware and enjoy the fluffy white stuff falling from the sky! I think aside from the temperature she absolutely loved the day!

Been reading a lot about photographers playing around with objects in front of their lenses like shooting through leaves or putting a sheet of paper over a portion of the lens to give a dream-like, sneaking up feel to the image. So while playing with my daughter I found this paper towel roll and chased her while looking through it. Thought it might be fun to stick in front of my camera because la morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16669865304080603128noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028983620856163511.post-86700673112578036762012-12-22T10:53:00.000-06:002012-12-22T10:54:06.690-06:00Inspiration On The Farm: The People

First of all I would like to apologize for my lack of blogging as of late. I recently launched my photography business and a sewing business and all the set-up for the two has taken up all my time.
Back in November I joined a wonderful group of girls for a weekend on Warthan Farms. It was not a formal workshop but pretty much a girls weekend where we all have one intense passion: photography.la morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16669865304080603128noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028983620856163511.post-49066812998582929552012-10-08T01:39:00.000-05:002012-10-08T01:43:21.687-05:00More Desert
My adorable daughter and wonderful hubby entertained me today by helping me out by doing a little impromptu photoshoot! I just love watching her little personality grow more and more each day. As you can see with the second to last image she's getting a tiny bit of sass with her poses!

Found some time today and last night to edit a little session I had with my daughter. We found a little spot close to home that I'm honestly pretty please with! I just love trees and grass and green but for the desert I think this will do! And when there are clouds in the sky to reflect the sunset opposite them, ah l'amore! <3
So with finding desert locations comes desert editing. I'm la morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16669865304080603128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028983620856163511.post-65584933275673022362012-10-02T17:16:00.003-05:002012-10-02T17:17:19.222-05:00Week 36-39 Project 52

Aside from where family is, Machine Falls in Tennessee is my absolute favorite place. I cannot express how this place made me feel but it was surreal!

Edition 6
Another week, more smiles! Though less camera time with my newly dubbed Penelope! Is it sad that it's taken me three years to name my camera? But I asked hubby if there was ever a shot to name another (future *crosses fingers*) little girl named Penelope and he ix-nay-ed that idea :oP Works out well cuz I get to use the name now instead of years down the road! <3

I have been eyeing this beautiful Twig camera for a couple months now (ever since I saw a Laura Winslow post on it) but finally was abel to justify purchasing one when I got my business all set up. It's a brilliant prop for family/children sessions! There is a 'shutter button' that is spring loaded and the front 'lens' of the camera twists to give a child the true effect of focusing/zooming la morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16669865304080603128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028983620856163511.post-20570629986075808302012-09-18T18:11:00.002-05:002012-09-18T18:11:30.443-05:00Zoey's Smile.

I never quite thought about it until the weekly theme of 'Five Senses' but Starbucks is my go-to place to ignite all those senses. There is always art of some kind to look at, or the pretty mugs, and of course the beautifully handcrafted beverage. The tastes of the drinks or sandwiches.

I'm so behind in blogging all of these! For 'Details' week I chose this image. I took the hubs and Zoey out to hone in on my style and practice a couple techniques with backlighting.

As some of you may know I used to dance; ballet was my weapon of choice. And if you've been following me for the past few months you probably remember that I went up to Washington State to dance with my old ballet studio in a performance of our late ballet teachers' signature piece: Collage.
